KTRANSLATE(source, to-1, from-1<...to-n, from-n>)

Details

In the z/OS environment, KTRANSLATE requires a from argument for each to argument. Also, there is no practical limit to the number of to or from pairs you can specify.

KTRANSLATE differs from TRANSLATE in that it supports single-byte character set replacement by double-byte characters, or double-byte character set replacement for single-byte characters.
